If humans had three arms, would we have the brain capacity to make full use of them?
This struck me today as I attemped to click two mice at my desk at work today to make the two PCs do different things.
If I had a third arm to be getting on with something as well, would I be able to thiink enough to make sure they all did it right? For example, I could be typing with both hands and drinking a cop of tea.
Would it likely be too much for only two eyes which can only look at one thing at a time, do you think? Would a roaming third eye be required to creally omplement arm number 3, perhaps. Or would it be possible just to be flicking your normal eyes back and forth?
I reckon it would come down to being born with them, probably. Say I woke up with a third arm tomorrow, I'm fairly sure I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Although I'd quite probably become the greatest guitarist ever, eventually. But would babies born with three arms eventually be nurtured and taught to be able to do three different things?
Can also be night thread for late-night wonderings.
